Tbilisi. Transparency International Georgia positively assesses government decision not to unify security and intelligence services.

''Transparency International Georgia welcomes this step, as well as, consideration of opinions expressed by international and local experts.

Reform of the state security system is one of the priorities for the country. Within the project Advocacy for Modern Security System, Transparency International, in cooperation with Center for Human Rights Teaching and Monitoring will present recommendations on the reform in spring 2018. We hope that the reform will be implemented in an open manner, with engagement from experts and as a result we will build state security system with accountability and strong democratic oversight mechanisms'', is noted in the statement.
